The Victoria Hotel & Source Spa

Let’s start with a positives majority of the staff are exceptionally polite and courteous. It’s got a traditional charm and high standards. The three course dinner and breakfast were delicious, highly recommend the food. The spa has been modernised to high standard but it felt overcrowded with only eight people memberships and hotel guests. Now for our negatives! we didn’t spend much time in our room on the Saturday night, we stayed in the lobby listening to band. At around 6.45am on the Sunday morning, I was woken by the people around walking around their room. The chandelier was shaking and the glass shells rattling, it didn’t stop until 8am by that time I was wide awake. Then, when we returned to our room after breakfast, the chambermaid knocked the door and went explained we weren’t ready get (about 9.30 - but 11am check out). I went for a shower and as I was getting out the chambermaid entered the room without knocking, very embarrassed as my mother-in-law was in her swim wear and I was wrapped in a towel, she just looked down and left the room without a word. Then about 30mins later she walked in again, she did say sorry this time, which I said you must knock before entering rooms. We went down to check out of the room but stay for our spa treatment. The manger said he would get the chandelier checked by the maintenance team as they wouldn’t want it to disturb anymore guests. We went down to the spa and waited for a treatments, which were very good. When we settled the bill the manager had taken a cup of tea off the bill £4.50. It was meant to be a relaxing spa night away, to be woken up so early and then made to feel we had to leave our room was not what I expected.

A delightful one-night stay including a day at the Spa. Highlights include a wonderful massage, delicious lunch at Bertie's, a quiet sea-view room, and even hawk handling on the front lawn. Thankfully the sun was out so we could use the fabulous outdoor pool, otherwise the sea is incredibly close.

As usual the Victoria served us well . The facilities, cuisine with live band, with service from the friendly staff were all excellent. The location at this scenic seaside resort of Sidmouth is outstanding.

FIRST CLASS IN First class in every respect This was our first vist and we were not disappointed in any respect What particularly sets this Hotel apart is the Stafff. Friendly, professional nothing was to much trouble

First rate cleanliness, friendliness and attention to detail. Spa and outdoor, heated pool well worth a visit.

Excellent staff clean room Views drinks reasonable price's we were given a room on the promised that no filthy dogs has been in. Good parking. Easy book in. Everything you need for a weekend. Food Dire The cheapest hash brown. For a few more pence you can get nice ones. Dover sole like shoe leather. A waste of the king of fish.. obviously bought in frozen. You only has to sit in the car park to see that all the food comes off the back of vans. And to notice the type of kitchen workers. Shall visit again for the room and spa. When it is sensible price.
